In the official blog of Cerulean Studios, the developers of Trillian instant messenger, a new 'surprise' is announced where users will be able to access their instant messenger through a Mac or the web.

From the blog:
"Surprise! We're unveiling a new, web-based version of Trillian Astra today. It's in a very early stage right now but the basics are all in place - expect swift progress moving forward. We have quite a few exciting ideas and plans for our web edition and can't wait to share them with you all! On Win32 and OSX, and available to approved testers only."

A new batch of alpha testers is also expected to be selected today as well.

Wow! Very sexy. The web edition could give Meebo a run for the money.

One question -- will their still be meta-contacts in the web edition (for us Pro users)?

Yes, the web edition supports Metacontacts! Since it syncs up your contact list with Trillian Astra (desktop edition) to our server, it will load and show all your metacontacts as well. Yup, that one feature is enough to excite a lot of people. ;)
